But it's the right thing to do.<br /><br />Interestingly, the angels came through as angels when I got the gmail notification...and as question marks here!

Praying for the blessings of this, and for peace for you both. <br /><br />I imagine it's difficult not to put up walls of protection to guard against the physical and emotional hurt. And this might wall off the love.👼👼❤Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095272703996765890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-41701444007717183212015-11-05T11:07:55.607-08:002015-11-05T11:07:55.607-08:00Exactly right, Linda.

He was a bomber pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War Two, who met his death, shortly before his marriage, in the night skies of Nazi Germany. The quote is from a letter to his bride-to-be.<br /><br />I would hope for that kind of legacy, Linda.<br /><br />Thank you, as always, for being here.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-12225764114707756842015-11-05T05:23:50.419-08:002015-11-05T05:23:50.419-08:00Shmaltzy movies and sappy songs have done us no fa...Shmaltzy movies and sappy songs have done us no favors when it comes to navigating the valleys.

Because, life - for "real" - isn't a fairy tale; and doesn't always have that "happy ending"...and if we DO intend to keep that promise, that "'til death..." promise, then the HARD will be there. And it's easier sometimes to just walk away from it rather than acknowledging that it IS hard; that you only want to stay for the "good"...<br /><br />Bless your words, Andrew, for they always bring to mind what we - I - SHOULD BE...<br /><br />Prayers continue!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954512718777249848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-80424833005755339202015-11-04T11:15:43.572-08:002015-11-04T11:15:43.572-08:00There is something precious found in enduring toge...There is something precious found in enduring together through the hard times.
